Actually, in my experience, the problem is when downtime is too short,
and worse, when things flap. With a hot failover process, once one has
failed over, one wants to wait a long time before failing back to the
primary system. Otherwise there's a serious risk of flapping back and
forth - which is REALLY expensive. One wants lots of hysterisis in the
system.
